Anyone watching this can’t believe what I’m seeing
Is this a scare tactic on behalf of the dental association
Is it more peer pressure for our kids from social media to have a white smile
This is a serious watch and honestly I can’t make up my mind
Some quoted 40,000 grand here and getting them done abroad for 5,000 with a hotel in the price
Anyway have a look and make up your own mind |

I saw the ad and said avoid like the plague. Bad enough that RTE would give that dickhead a platform without the subject being so ridiculous |

Watching
I think it's good to warn people on what can go wrong. It's a business, I ld consider doing it, but people need to know, if they fuck up, they really don't care. There is no follow up, no insurance. |

Understood but it still works out cheaper even if you have to go back |

Just watched it there and having just spoken to my own dentist today about it.. They make valid points on customers over expectations and wanting everything done fast and cheaply.
My own dentist mentioned it she has had to fix a lot of Turkey teeth because of poor clinical practices and lack of follow up by clinics aboard.
Due diligence.. What you pay here v abroad is huge but also do your research.. Cheap does not equate to good. Schools check ups were mentioned too and it's abysmal here, having paid 8k for my son in 2 years on his teeth. The public system was woeful. |

2 out of 3 of mine have dentures. They gave a time line and it's 6 months beyond that now. Still have to pay each visit. Without insurance we'd be fecked. |

No dental check ups at school? Did you not bring your kids to a doctor if they were sick, if their teeth looked bad or less than perfect would you not bring them to a dentist? If a problem was identified early I’m sure there’d be supports there if you went looking with a referral letter from a dentist?
The squeaky wheel gets the grease, once you’re in the public health system in Ireland it’s actually very good, but ya have to ask, shout, demand rant n rave! |

I have a dental thought that's been bugging me lately.
If your a PAYE worker and have to go to Doc or Dentist. You can claim back some expenses with a Med 1 or Med 2 form.
If your unemployed or on low income you can use Med card for Doc visits.
However you can't get any dental work done. Nor can you claim back expenses coz your unemployed.
Doesn't seem right |

There is definitely a primary school dental scheme, run by the use public health team. |

Correct and you can easily make an appointment for your local clinic if your child is in pain with their teeth and get seen to quickly.
I think they only do amalgam fillings though, which are outdated and your child will be replacing them later themselves for white ones. Maybe they do white ones these days, I don't know. |

I just watched for 5 mins and there was this poor girl with fake teeth, lips, hair and Botox. She was a young girl but she felt so much pressure to conform to the social media version of beautiful.
Such a shame  |

That girl went on love island she went in natural and she looked amazing but she said when she came out
She got her teeth done lip fillers Botox I think she’s an influencer now
As for appointments for kids teeth yes there are covered up until they leave primary school |

He fell in school broke one of his front teeth in half the dentist told us to sue the school for future dental appointments
He said that it will be a problem for him for the rest of his life two years on after leaving primary we’ve had to replace it twice already
We didn’t sue but wish we had now |

Had you taken out school insurance for him ? This would cover him till he is 18 , it also covers any accident at home or school 365 a year 24hours a day . Not sure if it would be too late to claim now though unfortunately x
